Document analysis, grounded summaries, chat: shipped into your existing product in weeks, not quarters. I design, build, and deploy end to end, with the production bar from 3+ years building data platforms at a Fortune 100 financial services company.

Born from my own NYC apartment hunts: too many buildings look fine on the surface, and the violations, complaints, and landlord history only surface after you've signed. RentGuard pulls 9 public data sources into one sourced, streamed AI report. Search any address, know before you sign.
I've always been a language learner, and my handwritten vocab notes piled up faster than I could study them. Linguist Notebook digitizes the habit: snap a photo of your notes or type a word, and AI researches it into a full study card: translation, IPA, examples, usage. Degrades gracefully if AI is ever down.
Your users get a working AI capability (chat over your data, semantic search, smart summaries) wired into the product you already have. With cost caps and guardrails, not a demo.
Good fit if: you have a product and users, and "add AI" keeps slipping down the roadmap.
Turn PDFs, records, and messy public data into structured answers your users can act on, with every claim linked back to its source. I built this end to end for NYC housing data.
Good fit if: your product sits on documents or records that users can't easily read.
Have an idea, not a team? I take products from zero to deployed, solo: auth, database, Stripe checkout, CI, the boring parts included.
Good fit if: you need a real, running product to show users or investors.
Not ready for a full build? One week, fixed price quoted up front. I dig into your product and your data, and you get a written technical plan covering architecture, costs, risks, and timeline. Yours to keep, whoever builds it.
Good fit if: you want a real plan and a real estimate before committing to a build.
We talk through what you're building and whether I can help. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so and point you somewhere better. No obligation either way.
Within three days you get a written proposal: price, timeline, deliverables. Every project runs on a contract with milestone payments: you see working software at every milestone, and only ever have one milestone at risk.
You get a staging link in week one and a short written update every week after that. You always know exactly where your project stands.
Deployed to your infrastructure, documented, and handed over, with 30 days of post-launch support included. The code is yours.
I'm Dante, an engineer in Queens, New York. I've spent 3+ years building production data platforms at a Fortune 100 US financial services company: AWS, Python, data pipelines, secrets management. Those habits come with me to your product.
I built RentGuard because I rent here and couldn't see my own building's history before signing. Linguist Notebook came from my own language study: I wanted handwritten vocab notes digitized into something I could actually review. I work with clients in English, Italian, or French.
I take on one or two engagements at a time, by design. I'm not chasing volume. I take projects I can ship well.
Have a product that needs an AI feature? A 20-minute call is enough to tell whether I can help.
